I just cannot believe it. I have only 70 plus thousand miles on this car and keep up with all of the maintenance required. I was driving the car and the acceleration starts to decrease while I am on a major interstate coming home with my son and a brand new pup. I coasted to a stop barely off the side of the road and was over 200 miles away from home. (Don't get me started on my insurance company's policy about not towing it over 12 miles). That was a two-grand tow.) Long story short, the engine is comeplety FRIED! Apparently, the timing 'belt' broke causing the timing chain to slip off and get caught up in the motor. I have no choice but to replace the engine with a rebuilt for eight grand. Also, since this is such a common problem, they cannot get a replacement until July! I have had this care for four years, and each year something else happens. Last time there were metal shavings in the trans pan after I had it breakdown on some rural sideroad in the sticks. That little escapade was over a grand, as well. I will never buy a Chevy again.
I have driven Chevys for over 40 years, but hearing about some of the similar problems that others have had, I will never buy one again.
